How to retrieve FlipShare videos that have disappeared?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1564 with Windows 7 and I've only had it a couple months. I noticed my hard drive was partitioned--the C drive was nearly full but the D drive was completely empty. I did some research and heard that I should just cut + paste some stuff from the C drive to the D drive, so I did that. But I think I lost some programs in the process.

I have a Flip UltraHD camcorder, which when you first connect it via USB port installs the software, FlipShare. I had over 100 videos stored in the FlipShare library on this computer. However, just now I plugged in my camera and a message came up that said my FlipShare library could not be found. It gave 4 options: Browse/New/Quit and one more I can't remember. I clicked Browse and I looked through my files but I couldn't find FlipShare anywhere. I couldn't figure how to make a New library either. So I had to quit and go to the Flip website to install FlipShare again, in the hopes that MAYBE my library would be recovered, but it wasn't. It would seem that those 100+ videos have been lost and I am devastated.

 

ANY thoughts AT ALL on how to recover them? And why did this happen in the first place?
